Things Smackie Thinks You Need to Know...

Google Play is free so I don't understand why you would need to get a month free of it.

Google Play Music is free yes.  Anyone can upload 20K songs to their cloud for streaming.

Google Play Music All Access is not free.  For $9.99 a month you are given access to (nearly) all of Google Music's Catalog, and you can combine that with your 20k uploads to supplement what's not in their catalog.   I've had it since June for $7.99 and have had to purchase one album in that time out side of GPMAA - every other album I've wanted I've been able to add to my collection on release day.

Smackie thought he would get bored of the yoga pant as daily wear craze.

Turns out he has not.  He still REALLY enjoys this trend.

Backed.  I enjoy them as well.

My wife in her yoga pants is basically what gets me to the gym every morning at 6:30.

How many different pair do you own?

I have two pairs of Lululemon.  The Studio Training and the Post Gravity.  Both are perfect for lounging and walking the dog.

Well played, but I acquired mine at the Lululemon Outlet Store in Gilroy, which is absolutely the middle the author says doesn't exist.  Top quality at $30-$40 per pair.

awww . . . you cheated diversity

And here I thought Fielder's contract was untradeable.

Sherzer gets his extension.  Trumbo for Porcello  next?

[gaaaaaaaaah]

definitely takes scherzer off the market, if he was ever actually on it. i was kinda hoping rizzo could somehow pull it off without giving up rendon

huge trade

[hutch]

I like it from the Tigers vantage..

I just don't like Fielder one bit..... his running, fielding, hitting when it matters.... his attitude on the field: he really emits this "I could give a shit if we win or lose vibe"..

but I guess the Tigers will be absorbing some of Fielder's contract?

Yes,  GREAT deal for Detroit, and no, they aren't paying the Rangers anything.  According to ESPN, it's the opposite  - Texas is sending Det $30m.   I don't get it at all from Texas' perspective.

They finally updated the article and it makes more sense.  Detroit is in fact sending the $30m, not Texas.  They had it the opposite last night.  Still a good deal for Detroit if they can sign Scherzer to a long term deal and that 22-year old kid can play third as soon as next season.

What? No. Detroit is paying Texas $30mil between 2016-2020.

Castellanos to third base (or, pipe dream: resign Peralta to play third and Castellanos is somehow ready to play left field).

This is insane they actually found someone to take him.

Now we just need a closer.

[vansmack]

What? No. Detroit is paying Texas $30mil between 2016-2020.

I updated it below.  I checked and double checked the article last night and it DEFINITELY said that Texas was sending cash.  I couldn't believe it myself.
